On convergence of one-step schemes for weak solutions of quantum stochastic differential equations (Q5947374)

The paper studies a class of quantum stochastic differential equations of the form: \[ dX(t)=E(t,X(t))d\Lambda_\pi (t)+F(t,X(t))dA^\dag_f (t)+G(t,X(t))dA_g (t)+H(t,X(t))dt,\;X(t_0)=X_0, \] for almost all \(t\) on a given time interval \([0,T]\). In the above equation, \(E\), \(F\), \(G\), \(H\) lie in a certain class of stochastic processes which can be integrated with respect to usual Hudson-Parthasarathy quantum noises \(\Lambda_\pi\), \(A^\dag_f\), \(A_g\) called, respectively, gauge, creation and annihilation and the Lebesgue measure. The paper focuses on the numerical solution of these equations. Under Lipschitz type conditions on the coefficients, the author studies several one step schemes for computing weak solutions of the proposed class of quantum stochastic differential equations. Some numerical experiments are provided which illustrate the main features of the different weak schemes proposed as well as their error estimates. Although no physical systems are studied in the examples, the author claims that his results may be used in the analysis of a class of open quantum systems, a claim which remains to be proved through concrete examples.
